injunction Of secrecy Lifted,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE senate has
decided to remove the injunction OF
secrecy from the journals of executive
sessions from 1929 to the end of the
.Fortie:h congress, about twenty years.
1t makes fifteen volumes of printed mat
ter. 1t is expected that the senate will
this week decide to give out for the in
formation Of the public the successive
steps taken on nominations-that is, in
reference to committees reports back to
the senate and confirmation or rejection,
but not any matter connected with the
debates, votes, etc, This would be a
great convenience to those interested,
would work no injury to any one, and
would save the senators much personal
responsibility and annoyance from press
representatives and those whose nonlina-
lions are pending.

dent Meets Her ut the Depot,

President Clevelands carriage, drawn by the
seal-browns and driven by Albert, drew up at the
6th-Street depot IN time TO meet the 1 80 train
from New York this afternoon. The carriage was
driven down 9Th street to the southern end of the
depos, where the President alighted. There was
no crowd there, and the President, who was
attired in blue sock suit, with a wide-brimmed
straw hat, sauntered up the railroad
tracks to the platform. There he had to wait ten
minutes as the train was late. He attracted no
attention at first as no one seemed to be aware OF
OF his presence, but soon It became noised about,
and the railroad men and others collected In
groups to get look at the President. The general
public was goo feet away, shut on by the depot

dent was there for. on from special car, placed
near the front OF the train, stepped Mrs. Cleve-

Mrs. Cleveland was helped down from the step BY
the President, and the party was soon mOv-
ing toward the Presidents carriage. Mrs
Cleveland was attired In a brown silk travelling
costume and brown hat with big white rosette.
Her face glowed with health, though she looked
somewhat fatigued by travel Gen. Greely fol-
lowed the party to the carriage, carrying big
yellow bouquet. To get to the carriage the party
went out by the way the President had entered the
depot There was train OF cars now in the way, and
upon the steps OF car crossing the platform and
alighttng on the other side. The President per-
formed this feat. too, with commendable agility.
